Stratside

About

Stratside is a strategic puzzle game where you defend planets from an opponent that manipulates gravity’s direction. You place gadgets with distinct attack patterns to disrupt their progress and prevent them from activating a red button. Each level requires careful planning to combine tools effectively while adapting to shifting environmental hazards. The core loop revolves on trial and error, balancing resource management with quick reflexes. Developed by Albert Espín and released in 2020, the game leans into its niche concept with tight level design and escalating difficulty. The gravity-shifting mechanic introduces fresh obstacles in later stages, testing your ability to think in multiple dimensions. While its presentation is minimal, the challenge curve has earned it a dedicated following among puzzle enthusiasts. At just $9.99, it’s a compact but cerebral pick for those who enjoy tactical problem solving.
